  • 1.  Know how to disable scan upon startup in a non managed client?

    Posted May 05, 2009 07:46 PM
    I need to disable scan upon startup in a non managed 64 bit client, I have't found anything in ythe application, it slows the equipemnt very much and the user does not want his equipment to be managed.

    Any idea?

    Regards

    1. Log into the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager and click on the Clients tab.
    2. In the right-hand pane, click on the Policies tab.
    3. Under Location-specific Policies and Settings, double-click Antivirus & Antisypware Policy and click Edit Shared.
    4. On the Antivirus and Antispyware Policy page, click Administrator-defined Scans. Select the Advanced tab.
    5. Under Startup and Triggered Scans, check or uncheck the following options:

    Run startup scans when users log on
    Allow users to modify startup scans
    Run a Quick Scan when new definitions arrive

    6. Click OK.

    You can just click on allow users to modify startup scans, then that client can select its own option.

    Hi,

    Change the client from unmanage to manage client then disable the startup scan on the SEPM Policy for the desired client.
    Follow the procedure above provided by Grant.

    Thanks,

    Hi,
    If you wanna stop for all the clients then follow the first procedure as shown
    or else

    go to services.msc

    then stop symantec network service.

    Thank you Sandeep. I have a system that needed start up scan to be turned off and this helped me to do so.

    Thanks Grant, I have done all that, but the question is still the same, where in the endpoint client is this option?
